I too love both of those songs. Canadian Railroad Trilogy is my #1 favorite Lightfoot song. I went to my first concert because I loved Wreck (from radio airplay), and it is probably my #2 favorite still. I was shocked to discover that Lightfoot and not Peter Yarrow or Paul Stookey had written For Lovin' Me and Early Mornin' Rain, two of my favorite folk songs from the 60s. But when Lightfoot performed Trilogy, a song I had never heard before, time stood still. I have never been the same since that night. (My husband might not think that is such a good thing).
